NON-GAAP TO GAAP RECONCILIATION AND MANAGEMENT’S EXPLANATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES Hilltop Consolidated Tangible Common Equity is a non-GAAP financial measure. Tangible common equity is defined as our total stockholders’ equity, excluding preferred stock, reduced by goodwill and other intangible assets. This is a measure used by management, investors and analysts to assess use of equity. Tangible book value per share, or TBVPS, is a non-GAAP financial measure.
